| Component | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The speed control in my car went wacko a couple of weeks ago. Sped up from 45mph to 56mph. In the short space of time it took for this to happen (1-2 seconds, not sure as i was freaking out...), i applied the brake - too no avail, then i put it into neutral and that worked; which was good because i almost plowed into the car in front of me (on a narrow single lane road on a hill going downhill so, there was no option to bail out, if there had been time to do that - which there was not. I have had it in the dealership for 12 days now and they can't seem to fix it. *dt *dt*jb |
